is that 34 vs 43 in college is no big deal

why does Saban use it so much as a pitch to recruits?

I'm not sure what you mean, more teams in the NFL are moving to a 3-4 and Saban has had a good deal of success getting kids drafted. That doesn't change the fact that if the kid projects as a 4-3 DE in the pros, they will most likely draft him there and playing 3-4 DE will not keep him from being a high draft pick.

Unless of course you and other posters think you have a better understand of this than guys like Saban. I mean. 5 * or not, do you think they would be recruiting him so hard if he really could fit in their defense?
